Franz Kafka
I do not speak as I think, I do not think as I should, and so it all goes on in helpless darkness.
Franz Kafka
We were created in order to live in Paradise, and Paradise was ordained to serve us. What was ordained for us has been changed it is not said that this has also happened with what was ordained for Paradise.
Franz Kafka
So then you’re free?’ ‘Yes, I’m free,’ said Karl, and nothing seemed more worthless than his freedom.
